Abstract We present a case involving a 66-year-old woman with a history of childhood somnambulism who presented with a recent recurrence of sleepwalking. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

[…] and physical examination Electroencephalography (EEG) may be helpful; microarousals and sleep state disorganization are often noted on EEG done during nocturnal sleep See DDx and Workup for more detail. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Six to 7 months after the initial visit, reevaluation included the same clinical workup as at entry, review of the sleep logs obtained at the previous follow-up visits, and review of the nocturnal polysomnograms. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

A variety of treatments have been recommended, but well-designed controlled clinical trials are lacking. [oxfordhandbooks.com]

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the use of quetiapine for the treatment of somnambulism in the literature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis The prognosis for sleepwalking is good. Most children experience a few episodes of somnambulism and then simply stop, often when a source of stress or anxiety is removed. [healthofchildren.com]

Prognosis The NREM parasomnias are rarely associated with any significant morbidity or long-term sequelae. [emedicine.medscape.com]

The prognosis is generally excellent for childhood onset and poorer for adult onset (Sharma S., 2007). Conclusion Somnambulism is relatively common among children and secondary causes must be ruled out. [priory.com]

The diagnosis of somnambulism was confirmed polysomnographically and linked etiologically to the start of using metoprolol, a lipophilic beta-blocker, for treating her hypertension. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This chapter discusses the clinical presentation, etiology, polysomnographic findings, diagnostic considerations, prevalence, and treatment options associated with these two parasomnias. Sleepwalking and sleep terrors share many characteristics. [oxfordhandbooks.com]
